Brookside Dairy Limited has accused Nyali MP Mohammed Ali of unlawfully obtaining warrants to seize the firm’s assets, including dairy cows in a bid to recover a debt of Sh500,000.

The MP was allowed by the High Court last week to auction Brookside cows and a milk cooling plant over the Sh500,051 debt arising from a defamation case.

The company, however, says in a case filed on Tuesday under a certificate of urgency that Mr Ali was aware that Brookside was not satisfied with the costs awarded to him after he won a lawsuit the firm had filed against him and had filed an appeal.

The firm’s company secretary Jacob Ombogi says in the application that the appeal came up for mention on June 21 and the High Court directed the matter be mentioned on November 6 for further directions.

“…the 1st respondent has deliberately and unlawfully extracted a certificate of costs dated 23rd May 2023, which he knows or ought to know is null and void ab initio (void from the start),” Mr Ombogi says in the application.

The court on July 3, allowed the outspoken legislator to instruct auctioneers to attach assets of the company, which is associated with the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta over the half a million-shilling debt.

Mr Ali was awarded the costs in November 2022 after a petition filed by the milk processing company, seeking to gag him and for damages for business losses.

Mr Ali’s lawyer Adrian Kamotho instructed Fisra Auctioneers to attach and sell the company’s assets through public auction and recover the amount.

Brookside says Mr Ali was aware of the appeal when he “unlawfully applied to the court for warrants of attachment.”

The auctioneers have also listed computers valued at Sh20,000 as well as seven reception seats (Sh6,000), office desks (Sh30,000), office chairs (Sh20,000) and printers (Sh14,000).
